Taking DVD Requests For SVS PB2-Ultra Review

Well the PB2-Ultra review is lifting off and I'm taking requests for DVDs.

If you want to see "what she'll do" on a particular scene, list the DVD and the exact time stamp and I'll do my best to include it. After all, this review will be written for the fine members of HTF, so I aim to please.

To avoid duplicity, check my PB2+ review hotlinked in my signature block to see what I've already posted for that sub. There's certainly been no shortage of monster bass DVDs released since then. If this thread sees some decent action, I'll pick the top 10 or 15 requests.

Similar to the PB2+ review, I'll also include (to the extent they exist) waterfall hotlinks to Rudi's "The Bass Archives" website, or SVS' website, which has a bunch of recent additions.

for some reason, i like the part in matrix reloaded when neo flies - the part when he is at the castle in the middle of nowhere - wow, the pci just pressurized my dorm room with that one... u know when he crouches and the floor distorts... wow!

revolutions, the machine's voice is always a favorite. of course, u have the typical classics: depth charges (U571), darla and the whale (nemo), the seismic blasts in ATOC epII, almost any JP scene where the trex is involved... whew, and there's many more!!

From a CD standpoint I would recommend Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery. I don't have an exact time stamp but the low synth bass at the very beginning of the song goes really low.

I would also check out Flim and the BB's Big Notes CD in particular the song Funhouse.

Good stuff - keep it coming guys. If you have time stamps, please list.

Thanks, Parker - Music will definitely be featured and subjectively evaluated, except possibly for the infamous Sound Hound Organ CD, where people might want to know how loud the full bore 16 Hz notes are from the 32 foot long pipes.

Craig, why don't you manufacture a "business trip" to my neck of the woods, and you can be another set of ears on the music stuff.

Yep, The Haunting DTS is still one of my Reference Standards for hard hitting deep bass. Maybe I'll review a few different scenes for the PB2-U vice the ones I already posted for the PB2+. The scene where the bedroom comes alive and attacks her is loaded with infrasonics and I haven't measured that one yet.

My favorite bass scenes are those two in Haunting: DTS also. I was literally SCARED when I heard the "Coming mother" scene. Not because it is a particularly scary scene, but because when I heard the first "thud" I almost had a heart attack

Planning on doing the FR and THD measurements this weekend (along with maybe some 11th hour ground plane work on the PB1-ISD before I bid it adieu).

Dialing in the phase and PEQ with before/after FR measurements will be cool.

After that, it's DVD and music evals for some time...and then the dreaded "write-up", with 10,001 revisions. Yeah, May 25 sounds about right....maybe I will wait for ROTK and squeak it in as a last minute addition to an already written review. ROTK's going to have a killer bass track, that's for sure.

Das Boot - The depth charges going off (sorry I don't have a time stamp)

You really must get a copy of Flim and the BB's Big Notes CD. It gives you the kind of bass that thumps your chest.
